"From the latest issue of Bon Appetit April 2006. We made this on the weekend but instead of stuffing the half egg slices, the mixture was mashed to make egg salad sandwiches! Just in time for Easter...."

  1. Wonderful eggs! I made a few for a snack to test the recipe before serving them for easter dinner. They disappeared very quickly. My family loved them. Thanks!
     
  2. Very good. The olive oil added an interesting and delicious dimension to traditional deviled eggs! The only thing I didn't have was celery so I left it out. Used dried tarragon instead of fresh. Yum!
     
  3. I can count on one hand the times I've made deviled eggs. Well, that's gonna change! These eggs are terrific! I love the flavor the tarragon and capers add.
     
  4. I did a trial run on these eggs for my New years get together, I knew by looking at the ingredients this would be right up my alley! Really the only change I made was I used green onions in place of shallots and used seasoned salt, will be making again to be enjoyed at my get together! thanks Cookgirl!...Kitten:)
     
  5. These are excellent deviled eggs. The capers and tarragon are great additions. I only made one lonely little deviled egg (for the photo), and chopped the rest up for an egg salad sandwich on multigrain bread. Mmmm.
